"The Gospel of Judas" is on National Geographic Channel this month. Anyone see it?
Suppressed by the early church when the official four gospels were selected from over two dozen early gospels.

Well according to Matthew 27:3-5, Judas died (departed, and went and hanged himself) even before Jesus was crucified. As such, his Gospel (I saw the program) was most likely authored by someone else. He simply did not have enough time to write one. In fact, most of the Gospel accounts seem to have been written after the person they were attributed to was dead. That bothers me a great deal. I’m always looking for eyewitness accounts of the events recorded.
Paul had time and wrote a lot of letters so he may have authored most of the writings attributed to him but he never actually met Jesus in the flesh (a vision is simply not the same thing). Even Josephus (historian) was not born until 37AD (3-4 years after Jesus died) so his testimony is based on hearsay.
